Nice, checked mine earlier as it seems late to flower. Bloody aphids all over the main spike. Gave them a spray with the hose. Haven't had them before but I've heard they're a nightmare

The lupin is about the only bloody plant in the garden that doesn’t Have aphids at the moment. Little buggers are on my rose, my broad beans, my apple tree, a shrub which I can’t remember the name of, a curry plant, and they’ve just set into the tulips even though the tulips are all dying back anyway. They’ve all just had a thorough neem-ing, so that should put on the back foot, but it will be interesting to see where they crop up next. Dunno what it is about my garden that’s so attractive to the little sods but I wish they wouldn’t.

Lupin is going for it. Got another 4 flower spikes coming up, should look pretty great in a week or so.
